Ok, missed that.  But still we need the LVM config info and details on
the system config to address these issues.  I suspect he's not running
with any swap configured as well, and something is pushing the system
over the line.  But it's hard to know.

Any output from 'dmesg' you can share?  The more detailed the better.

And RHEL7.4/CentOS 7 is all based on kernel 3.14 (I think) with lots
of RedHat specific backports.  So knowing the full details will only
help us provide help to him.
